New York: Washington Square Park
Inspiration: Lest I lead you to believe that I've left New York to photograph tribal women in some exotic locale, please hop over to The Photodiarist in Color where everything will become clear and a lot more colorful.

The first shot is a visual treat.. it really looks like a painting rather than a photo of a painted face :)

It's crasy to see the difference between color and white & black. In B&W, you could imagine this girl is a member of a tribe who visit NYC, in color you easily understand the context. I love to see different level of understanding and surprises in photos. I love your work.

the meaning behind the photo is different between color and black and white.
First I thought you'd made a photo of a tribal woman somewhere... then it all became clear.

I love 2nd photo.
Black line is beautiful.(about her shoulder and neck)

Oh, wow, PD, these are fabulous. Must wait to see the colour when we come back - Mr. Dot is getting very antsy to get to the Saatchi Gallery - but I've missed your blog, missed seeing the world thru your eyes.
I'll be back.. hope you're having a lovely Memorial Day. xo

I like these close-ups. They are also my favorite in the coloured series. She has a very significant look.

It does look very tribal. The black and white create an almost abstract, painting visual. Nice!
